1/4″ x 8″ steel flat bar CF-1018 is manufactured from cold-finished 1018 low-carbon steel and produced to ASTM A108 specifications for precision and consistency in machining and fabrication applications. The 1/4″ thickness and 8″ width provide a flat, uniform profile with improved dimensional accuracy and surface finish compared to hot-rolled steel. 1018 cold-finished steel offers good strength, excellent machinability, and reliable weldability, making this flat bar suitable for structural, mechanical, and general fabrication uses where tight tolerances are required.

Applications:
1/4″ x 8″ CF-1018 steel flat bar is commonly used in structural, industrial, and fabrication applications, including:
• Brackets, plates, and support components
• Machined parts and precision components
• Structural reinforcements and frames
• Base plates, gussets, and mounting surfaces
• Fabrication, repair, and maintenance projects
• General manufacturing and industrial assemblies

Advantages:
• Precision dimensions: Cold-finished process provides tighter tolerances and straightness
• Smooth surface finish: Ideal for machining and finished parts
• Good machinability: 1018 steel machines easily with minimal tool wear
• Weldable material: Compatible with common welding processes
• Versatile use: Suitable for structural, mechanical, and general-purpose fabrication

Summary:
The 1/4″ x 8″ CF-1018 steel flat bar is a high-quality, precision steel product designed for machining, fabrication, and structural applications. Its cold-finished surface, consistent dimensions, and dependable strength make it an excellent choice for components, supports, and assemblies requiring accuracy, durability, and ease of fabrication.
